Rooting powder
it but haven't any way of telling whether it works - I have put my failures down to poor technique! There are two main rooting compounds, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). You can buy only NAA in garden centres, usually in powder by Rory O'Hanlon

Talkback: Chitting potatoes
